[Thriving Despite Us] My New Look

[Kate]

In an effort to not stress about blogging and just have fun with it, I did not want to spend money on a blog designer or PR person. But I did want to change the look of my blog and update my tagline. This left me to my own devices which is not always such a good thing. I spent a great deal of time last night trying to figure out how to update my blog design using Blogger features.

Here is what I learned from the experience:

1. I know nothing about blog design or writing a tagline. 
2. Blogger Template/Design is not user friendly. 
3. There are a lot of really, really busy background designs and hard to read fonts out there.
4. You can make a whole bunch of changes and if you don't click update none of them are saved. 
5. After looking through 50+ templates, it is hard to remember which one you like. 
6. Repeatedly clicking through templates to find the one you originally liked, so you can save it this time, is incredibly frustrating. 
7. Spouses should not offer help unless solicited. 
8. Writing a tagline is much harder than one would think. 
9. Many things seem awesome at midnight and appear much less so the next day. 
10. I am not nearly as clever as I thought I was yesterday morning. 

Now I a day later, I am sleep deprived and slightly wiser and my blog has a new look and a new tagline. What do you think?
